A comparison video showcases the original Metal Gear Solid 3, a Fox Engine remake, and an Unreal Engine 5 remake, highlighting improvements in models and textures with better lighting and shadows in the Fox Engine version, while the Unreal Engine 5 remake offers more detailed models and textures. The Fox Engine cut-scenes appear to have a superior art style and hair physics, and the Unreal Engine 5 version runs in real-time, offering new modding options for PC gamers.

Digital Foundry praises the Switch 2 port of Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade, claiming it looks better than the PS4 version and is the best-looking game they've seen on Switch 2, with stable performance and superb image quality, suggesting a strong port from Square Enix ahead of its release later this year.

The remake of Front Mission 3, released in June 2025, has faced criticism for replacing original 2D art assets with AI-upscaled versions, resulting in noticeable quality issues and fan disappointment, raising concerns about the use of AI in game art restoration.

The HD remaster of Bravely Default for Switch 2 retains some of the original's charm but falls short in graphical fidelity, especially for enemy models, due to limited updates from its 3DS origins. While gameplay remains solid, the visual upgrade feels underwhelming, making it a missed opportunity for a truly impressive launch title.
